My breakdown of each character (Pt. 1 Direct family)

Kind, caring, thinks of others, does that cool thing where she appears out of nowhere, so many other things. How could we not love her?

Good father, sweet, patient, open to new things especially after meeting Cassie. We loved him too. Stinks we never got to see a story about his death. It just, became a story/memory when the TV show started.

Wonderful grandfather, stuck by Cassie after Jake died. Weird though he had a wife in the movies, but didn't when the show started no explanation. Also felt random he knew about the witchy side of the family seemingly out of nowhere. We love him anyways, but his development took a weird turn.

Sweet kid, great character. But wow! There's no way to tell how old she is at any given point. No shade, she just always looks like a small child. Even when the TV show started and she was supposed to be an adult, she still looked like a little kid!

Good kid. Had great development into an adult and remained super likeable, and enjoyed watching him continue to grow. But his marriage made his story so hard to watch. Feel bad for him.

Sweet, coming into who she is, loveable. We do love her, but she can be overbearing and a bit cocky because of her powers. She does have her unlikable moments sometimes but still a good kid. Doesn't make sense though that she suddenly became a fashion student at the end of the series as she never had an interest in it so. why?

So, that's my general take on things. Let me know if you agree or feel otherwise!

Good kid. Had great development into an adult and remained super likeable, and enjoyed watching him continue to grow. But his marriage made his story so hard to watch. Feel bad for him.
